From the BBC:
The UN has no more food to distribute in the Gaza Strip, the head of relief efforts in the area has warned.John Ging said handouts for 750,000 Gazans would have to be suspended until Saturday at the earliest, and called Gaza’s economic situation “a disaster”.
Yes, truly tragic. If only the Gazans had some way of growing plants on their own. Oh, I dunno… maybe greenhouses or something.
Looters strip Gaza greenhouses
Sept. 13, 2005
NEVE DEKALIM, Gaza Strip – Palestinians looted dozens of greenhouses on Tuesday, walking off with irrigation hoses, water pumps and plastic sheeting in a blow to fledgling efforts to reconstruct the Gaza Strip.
American Jewish donors had bought more than 3,000 greenhouses from Israeli settlers in Gaza for $14 million last month and transferred them to the Palestinian Authority.

Well, that’s what no functioning civil authority will do for you…

That’s also what a dysfunctional culture of irrational hate will do for you.
Do the Gazans have reason to hate the Israelis? Yes, I suppose so, in much the same way the citizens of Germany and Japan had to hate the US Army Air Forces. But the constant destruction of their own stuff is bizarre to say the least.
Well, it think it’s more like people making off with what they could carry. You need functioning civil authority to stop people from doing that.
